Hi,

I am attempting to use the result of a VLOOKUP within the logical test of an IF statement, however I am getting a #NAME ? error. It's probably something simple but I have not managed to solve the issue with over an hour of Googling :(

Cell AE29: =VLOOKUP(B29,'EMIS Report'!$A$1:$E$72,5,FALSE)
Result: Complete

IF statement: =IF(AE29="Complete",Y,N)

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
